The first line of a +CUPS command file MUST contain: + + #CUPS-COMMAND + +After that, each line is either a command or a comment. +Comments begin with the # character, e.g.: + + # This is a comment + +The printer commands are described below. Printer commands are +case- insensitive, so "PRINTSELFTESTPAGE", "printselftestpage", +and "PrintSelfTestPage" are equivalent. Commands that accept +arguments have their arguments on the same line separated by +spaces. + + +PRINTER COMMANDS + +The following commands are currently recognized: + + Clean all + Clean black + Clean color + Clean cyan + Clean light-cyan + Clean light-magenta + Clean magenta + Clean yellow + + Do a standard print head cleaning. If a printer does + not support cleaning of individual colors or cartridges, + then all print heads are cleaned. + + PrintAlignmentPage phase + + Print an alignment page on the printer. Typically this + page shows the horizontal and vertical alignment of the + print heads with numbers for each. The phase number can + be omitted. + + PrintSelfTestPage + + Print a self-test page on the printer. Typically this + page shows if all jets on a print head are functioning + properly. + + ReportLevels + + Reports the levels of each marking color in the + printer-state-message attribute. The format of the + report string is one of: + + K=### + C=### M=### Y=### + K=### C=### M=### Y=### + K=### C=### M=### Y=### LC=### LM=### + + depending on the marking colors available. + + SetAlignment phase x y + + Sets the alignment of the print heads in the X and Y + directions. The phase number must match that specified + by the PrintAlignmentPage command or be 0. The Y + direction is not used by some printers. |
